Booze: New revenue for everyone?

Even colleges are getting into the booze. Places are getting rid of the old laws wanting more people to drink so they can get the tax money. Could we see a return of lower age drinking?

The 21 drinking age is a bit hypocritical.

There should be one legal age for everything. I don't care what it is, 18, 21 whatever but we should pick one and be consistent.

That said I bet college brand beer sucks.

 

When I was in high school ('73), Dan Walker was running for governor(IL). I asked him at a public forum why I was required to register for the draft, but couldn't sit in a bar and have a beer.

Yup college brand- they take some low priced swill and re-brand it.
Re: Illini Beer. Must be a collectible now - the "Chief" was banned.
Ban the Chief!

 

Let them drink.

 

The 21 drinking age is a joke because all that does is make the younger people want to drink more, plus alcohol is not that difficult to obtain, I used to drink vodka and orange juice in high school whenever I felt like it.

 

Way OT but what the fuck.

So- Chief Illiniwek was banned from the U of I campus and the likeness is no longer used on official merchandise. Racist and all that it is.

For years the anti-Chief crowd used the slogan "Ban The Chief!"

So I came up with my own anti-anti Chief slogan "Chan The Beef!"
Thought of making t-shirts but the idea went nowhere.

 

I say if your old enough to fight and die for your country, your old enough to drink, let's repeal the old Reagan law and let the spirits flow.
